Halloween Costumes 2019: 20 Ideas From Our Fave Movies & Shows
Now that the spooky season is officially here, it's time to start thinking about a very important decision that's coming up super quickly: Our Halloween costumes. There are so many options to choose from, and a quick trip to Target or Spirit Halloween will convince anyone of that. But just in case anyone out there needs a little inspiration, we've got plenty of it, thanks to all of our favorite movies and TV shows. A pop culture-themed costume is always a guaranteed hit at any Halloween party, and why not pay tribute to some of the best the entertainment world has had to offer in 2019?
A lot of movies and TV shows have premiered this year and have made a huge cultural impact -- and many of them lend themselves perfectly to Halloween costumes. Still sad about the ending of Game of Thrones or the way Avengers: Endgame played out? Yup, there are plenty of costumes for both of those things. And another season of Stranger Things provided many ideas for fans, too. And for those of us who are into a throwback, costumes inspired from our favorite childhood shows are very in right now.
The possibilities are endless!
Read on for TV- and movie-inspired Halloween costumes that any adult could easily pull off -- and where to buy them, because not all of us are super into DIY. These can be easy, fun solutions to figuring out what to wear this year, and some of them even lend themselves to a couple's costume or a group costume, which is all the more impressive.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Jon Snow - 'Game of Thrones'
Since Game of Thrones came to an end this year, what better way to commemorate the occasion than by dressing as Jon Snow for Halloween? Get this black fur cloak and add a tunic and crown that can be purchased separately. Plus, if it's cold on Halloween, this costume is the warmest pick.

Dwight Schrute - 'The Office'
Bears, beets, and Battlestar Galactica. Dressing as Dwight is pretty easy, especially with this costume from Spirit Halloween. The costume comes with the yellow shirt, tie, glasses, and even Dwight's pager.

Mary Poppins - 'Mary Poppins'
Mary Poppins is always a classic -- and it's even more timely since Mary Poppins Returns was released in theaters not too long ago. This costume includes the dress and the hat. Add an umbrella and some tights, and the look is complete.

Wednesday Addams - 'The Addams Family'
We don't think anyone's ever too old to dress up as Wednesday Addams on Halloween, and it helps that the costume is super cute, too. This costume includes the black dress and the buckle. Add on shoes and the tights (and a couple of braids) and it's a classic, cute, and simple Halloween look.

Contestant From 'The Price Is Right'
Want to make everyone at the Halloween party laugh? This costume comes with an apron that serves as the game board and microphone -- plus a name tag sticker and Price Is Right logo sticker.
This would be an awesome group costume.

ElastiGirl - 'The Incredibles 2'
Incredibles 2 has been huge, so why not sport Elastigirl's new costume? The costume comes with the jumpsuit and the mask, and just need to be paired with high boots. Better start stretching now.

Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel was one of the biggest movies of the year, so it's time to make Brie Larson proud. This Carol Danvers' jumpsuit looks pretty authentic. Add a blond wig ... and maybe even a stuffed cat named Goose?

Robin - 'Stranger Things'
We're still not over the emotional season of Stranger Things that was released this year, but Robin was definitely one of our favorite parts. Dressing up as a Scoops Ahoy employee is easy, and the costume from Spirit Halloween includes the shirt, vest, shorts, hat, and name tag.
Too cute!

Eleven - 'Stranger Things'
For those who are bigger fans of Eleven, there's an option for them, too. Spirit Halloween also sells a romper just like hers. It even comes with the bright blue socks, transforming anyone into an '80s teen with seriously strong powers.

Winifred Sanderson - 'Hocus Pocus'
Let's face it: Hocus Pocus is still a big deal, so why not dress as Winifred? For $50, fans can get their hands on her dress. Her wig is sold separately, but because her hair is part of her trademark, it's a must.

Rey - 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
It's almost time for another Star Wars movie to hit theaters, and this Rey costume is the perfect way to celebrate. This costume comes with Rey's top and wraps, the boot covers, arm warmers, pants, cuff, and belt. Lightsaber sold separately but totally worth the investment.

Kylo Ren - 'Star Wars'
Prefer the Dark Side? Kylo Ren is definitely an option. Spirit Halloween also offers up his costume. The robe, cape, belt, and mask are included, and this would make the perfect couples' costume for someone with a friend who wants to go as Rey.

Angelica - 'Rugrats'
In the mood to relive childhood favorite Rugrats? An adult Angelica costume is sure to get some laughs. This costume comes with Angelica's dress, leggings, and hair bows. To really go that extra mile, consider creating a Cynthia doll out of a Barbie and some scissors. Hey, it could work!

Chuckie - 'Rugrats'
Feelin' more Chuckie than Angelica? Spirit Halloween is also offering up a Chuckie costume that comes with his wig, glasses, shorts, shirt, and socks -- and let's be real, it's probably worth buying a pair of red converse to complete the look.

Jughead Jones - 'Riverdale'
Not only is Jughead a fairly easy costume, but it promises to make Riverdale fans look super rad. At Party City, Jughead's leather Southside Serpents jacket is available. And because Jughead isn't Jughead without his beanie, that's available for purchase separately.

Betty Cooper - 'Riverdale'
Another couple's costume, anyone? Dressing as Betty Cooper from Riverdale is totally an option. And this dress makes it super simple. Betty's simple signature ponytail completes the look, and boom -- costume done.
